The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 619 The Witch

I don't know what Zhou Xuanye saw when he faced this black hole, but he became very depressed all of a sudden, and he even said such a sentence.

Can't live long?What is he referring to?
After I finished asking, Zhou Xuanye didn't answer my question, he just sat where he was, but his eyes never looked at that weird black hole again, as if he was dodging.But at this moment, although I was only a few steps away from the black hole, I took a few glances, but there was nothing unusual about it.

This thing is pitch black like a cloud of ink, the light can't get through, and I don't know if it's a hole in the ground or something else.However, looking at Zhou Xuanye's current situation, he definitely won't go any further. Although I don't know what he saw just now, I was relieved instead.

At this moment, seeing him sitting where he was, looking a little lost, I couldn't help reminding him; "This is not a place to be in a daze. If there is anything, go out first."

Zhou Xuanye glanced at me when he heard the words, and said in a wrong way: "Am I really wrong?" He was talking to himself rather than asking me.

"Wrong?" I said, "You have done too many things wrong. Which one are you referring to? No matter which one, let's save it for later. Don't be here now. This black hole is scary to me. Panic."

Zhou Xuanye ignored my earnest words, and the corners of his mouth twisted suddenly when he heard the words. I almost doubted whether he was about to split his personality again. Immediately afterwards, I heard him say: "If you accidentally kill the most important person around you People, not one, but many... All of them were killed by you. One day, you suddenly know the way to save them, will you go back and do it?"

I paused, wondering who they were Zhou Xuanye was talking about?If it is said that Zhou Xuanli was killed by him, I can understand that he feels guilty, but the scope of "they" is very wide.

It's just that right now, I don't have much time to think deeply, so I said, "I will find a way to save it within my ability, but in the world, there is something to do, and there is no need to do it; you can benefit yourself, but you shouldn't harm others."

Zhou Xuanye's expression calmed down when he heard the words, and he immediately sneered, and said, "It's really a waste of me to ask you this question. I'm afraid I forgot, you have no relatives, no friends, and brothers are separated by a wall, how could you I understand what I mean by doing this. If there is a way for Fu An to get rid of the ghost body and be reborn in bliss, but you need to kill someone, wouldn't you be willing?"

I said: "Of course I don't want to. To be a human being, one should learn to accept the reality. Fu An is already a ghost, and the lights are extinguished after death. How can I harm others just to force it?"

Zhou Xuanye looked at me slantingly, with something wrong in his expression. Immediately afterwards, he smiled again, with a bit of contempt in his smile: "It originally turned into a ghost because of its deep obsession, and it has a chance of supernatural life. You forgot , in order to protect yourself, you subdued it into a little ghost according to my method. It cannot be reincarnated, but you caused it. Now you are so righteous and awe-inspiring that you can't force it. Tsk... Brother is right, a white-eyed wolf .”

I choked up immediately, and subconsciously said: "The situation at that time was the only way. I was not only saving myself, but also saving it..." Facing Zhou Xuanye's contemptuous gaze, I couldn't continue my defense.

Seeing that I was silent, Zhou Xuanye looked at that strange black hole with a strange expression: "You have divided everything so clearly, but it is because you and it did not grow up with brotherhood. You pity it and take it in." , feel that it is in the same sympathy with you, but you have never thought about saving it... You can't let your own conscience go through it, in order to make yourself feel at ease, you are sacrificing it."

"I do not have!"

"Is there, don't you know in your heart?"

When I was stared at by him, I felt a little guilty.

I can't help but ask myself, am I really what Zhou Xuanye described?Am I sacrificing Fu An?But it was originally a dead person, just a little ghost. When I subdued it, I was also saving it. I was forced to do so.

Why is it that once Zhou Xuanye uttered these words, I am no longer a human being?

Taking a deep breath, I felt that I couldn't be misled by Zhou Xuanye, so I said, "I can't say no to you, I don't want to argue with you."

Zhou Xuanye said: "If you are really reasonable, how can you say no."

I was angry: "Fuck, is it interesting to say these things in this place? If you want to save Zhou Xuanli, how many people are you going to kill? I, Su Tiangu, don't have that ability and can't be a hero, so I don't mean to stop you. You What are you doing against me? All right, you want to stay here, right? I won’t serve you anymore, sir! Do whatever you like!”

After I finished speaking, I turned around and walked back, but after only a few steps, my prestige was gone.

Impulse is the devil, but sometimes, it is a very refreshing thing for a person to be impulsive.

Probably because I was destined not to be a cheerful person, so I turned around and took a few steps, and my impulsive brain quickly calmed down.I don't know if this is an advantage or a disadvantage. I heard that people who are too rational will live in more pain.

I can't walk, I can't get angry.

There are ghosts here, and on the way here, there are stone walls that we don't understand, and those things that look like human hands.

At this moment, we have no turning back.

We have to go out within an hour. After Zhou Xuanye's tossing about before, about twenty minutes have passed, and we don't have much time left.

Why can't I be more impulsive?

This thought flashed through my mind, but my body obeyed the command of reason, walked to Zhou Xuanye's side, and said: "Bypass this black hole, let's go to other places and find a way out early, otherwise we will be finished."

Fox Zhou straightened his dirty clothes slowly, as if nothing happened before, glanced at the black hole, nodded and said, "Let's go, go ahead and have a look."

We immediately planned to go around from the distance of the black hole. After all, this area is relatively large and the terrain is flat, so it is very easy to go around.

Soon, in the light of the searchlight, the human bones gradually became thinner, as if it had reached the boundary of the mass burial site. At the end of the light, there appeared a dark stone wall, and the previous colorful stone walls that looked like living things totally different.

This dark color, as well as the edges and corners polished by the years, show that it is just an ordinary stone wall.

However, between the stone wall and our position, there is a ditch obviously dug by man.

The ditch is very wide, but not deep. Standing on the edge and looking down, the situation in the pit is shocking.

I saw a lot of people kneeling in the pit, all dressed in bright red robes, lined up neatly, with their backs to us, kneeling facing the stone wall opposite the ditch.When the light came on, these kneeling people were naked and shaggy. Although they couldn't see their faces, they looked like ghosts waiting for us in this gloomy environment.

At first glance, seeing a mass of red-clothed corpses kneeling in the pit, let alone how horrifying it is.

Thanks to my guts, I have already gained weight. Three years ago, I probably would have been so frightened that my legs became weak and I sat down on the ground.

Swallowing, I said, "These...what are these things?"

Zhou Xuanye was very calm, not only carefully observing the red-clothed corpse in the pit, but also moving the searchlight left and right, wanting to see more comprehensively.

As the light moved, I saw that the two ends of the ditch were very long, and I didn't know where it extended. It was densely packed, full of kneeling corpses in red robes, and the situation was extremely strange.

After I finished asking, Zhou Xuanye said, "It's a witch."

As if he knew that I didn’t understand, he went on to say; “Witches are the source of all magic. During the Warring States Period, ghost witchcraft was prevalent and sacrifices were cumbersome. Look, these red robes are a kind of ancient witch clothes. There are feathers on their heads."

I said: "These are all ancient wizards and warlocks? Then, why do they kneel here collectively? Oh, I see! This place is a mass burial place for ordinary people, but people are divided into three, six, and nine classes. This ditch, It is specially used to bury witches, it must be so!" I think my guess is nine out of ten.

But Zhou Xuanye shook his head, and said, "Witches have their own burial methods, but it's definitely not this way. Look at their clothes and movements, do they look like they are offering sacrifices?"

I boldly looked at it carefully for a while, and after watching it for a long time, I didn't feel eerie, but I felt a sense of solemnity, and I couldn't help saying: "It is indeed a bit similar. Could it be that they are the same as those nine Chu generals. Was caught and sacrificed?"

Zhou Xuanye said: "If he was a captured Wu Chu, he wouldn't be wearing such a fine attire."

When he talked about clothes, I felt a little strange, and said: "These clothes are more than 2000 years old, and they are like new clothes. The colors are gorgeous, which is really rare."

Zhou Xuanye said disconcertingly: "Anyone who is abnormal must be a demon." While speaking, he straightened the light of the searchlight and hit it directly on the opposite stone wall.On the stone wall, there was a man-made stone step winding upwards. We followed the trend of the stone step and turned on the lights, but we couldn't see the depth, and we couldn't see what was going on above.

But at this moment, we have no other way to go, Zhou Xuanye shook the searchlight and said, "Just go up there."

I pointed to the naked corpses in the ditch, and said, "Shall we go from this ditch to the opposite side?"

Zhou Xuanye returned to 'normal', and said with a smile: "Why don't you fly over? Let's go, hurry back and take them over."

The so-called them refer to the third, fourth, glasses and our equipment.

Little three and little four will be disturbed when they pass around that weird black hole, so we have to detour.After rushing back quickly, I saw that the corpse was still guarding the place dutifully, and the glasses were lying there. As for whether he was dead or alive, or whether he was rushed by the ghost, lost his soul, went insane, he didn't know.
